Just a quick review . . .

I installed these tonight: Aries Round Nerf Bars - 3" Diameter - Polished Stainless Steel Aries Automotive Nerf Bars - Running Boards AA203001-2
The finished install is fine. The bars are sturdy and look good on the truck.

But the install took 2 hours. This should legitimately be a 30-minute job. But a mix of poorly sized, SAE AND Metric hardware (?!), two missing nuts and horrible instructions make this a huge PITA to install. The instructions are written in plain English (i.e. they don't read like a non-English speaker wrote them) but they are inadequate, the pictures aren't good, and the install is nowhere near intuitive. The second side will go much faster than the first side, of course, once you figure it all out.

All in all, the end result is what I wanted, but getting there is unnecessarily difficult.
